My knees hurt a bit from riding on the trainer last night, and I'm sleepy. But I'm also happy that it's Friday, hungry for second breakfast and looking forward to Thai for lunch with pals if my workload allows.

My workload allowed! So now I feel full and sleepy and unmotivated to finish out the afternoon at work. But all in a good way. My knees feel fine.

Overwhelmed. This being a grown-up thing is hard sometimes. (And I'm almost 45.)

ha! me too.

I am feeling total relief. some weeks i posted about a user friend. she had what we can only call a real life Flounciad yesterday. It sort of negatively affected the event that my group had planned, and i suspect she called our client list and told people not to come, but we are Rising Above. I am really relieved even though her flounce made it appear that the problem (her) was really (me). Yeah, whatever, rising above, and she's gone.

Freezing! I am always cold, but I had to leave the room (Jay insists on sleeping with the window open and it kills me!), bundle up in a housecoat, three blankets, and a cat, turn the heat on (glorious heat!), and sip some tea for my probably-getting-sick throat.

Sad. And disappointed because today is the local pumpkin festival and I have to miss it because I'll be working. And annoyed because the run-around my boss gave me about "Oh, we can't change the days you work yet" because of the new guy is bull shit- he doesn't start till today and there are plenty of people to cover (we are overstaffed).

About to go out and run errands and I don't want to wahhh! I want to stay home and curl up with a nice book or watch something on TV. I'll be happy I went out though because I can bring home a veggie burger and fries for a (late!) lunch. I slept in till almost 11:00 a.m. today which is pretty late for me so today, I'll live like I'm in the Pacific time zone.

I want to stay and home and eat gravy for supper then fall asleep half-falling off the sofa. But nooooo I've got to eat the rest of the meal I'm cooking then go and see an art event I've got complementary tickets for and see my friends and socialise. Life is a big poopy asparagus sometimes.

Also, I think I've got a cold because I'm all snot and tears. Bleurgh. I want beer.

Cranky and headachey. We're chronically understaffed at work, which is stressful. I checked the schedule for tomorrow and we're down two people when we're already stretched really thin. It's going to be a pain in the forking asparagus getting to work tomorrow because of the Amsterdam Marathon, so I'm going to have to get up earlier than normal to give myself enough time to go around the course. And now the stupid hockey club on the square outside my window is having a party, including what sounds like live klezmer music (of all things). All the folks who party on Friday and Saturday night don't really take into account that there are people who actually have to work weekends.

Tired with a headache.

So good! After working 14 hours yesterday (mostly voluntarily and I feel awesome about the work I did, so it's ok that I was there that long), and not getting home from work until almost 12:30, I decided to let myself stay in bed as long as I forking wanted. Slept super late and snuggled in bed with cats.

Then I walked around in the beautiful autumn sunshine talking to my friend and making brunch plans for tomorrow, bought some groceries, drank some coffee while reading the PPK. Now I am about to spend my afternoon snuggling my sick partner, and hopefully he'll feel up to going to the big annual home brew contest put on by our friends tonight. And I get to play my new melodica! Sometimes my life is just the greatest.

I love klezmer and don't work weekends, but I think in that case, my love of sleep would be winning out. Sorry you had to deal with that!

Today I feel run-down and a bit confused/sad (thinking about some relationship stuff that's going on for me at the moment; it's not all bad, but it's particularly present for me right now as it's my anniversary with my partner this Tuesday. I'm acutely aware that our relationship had changed a lot in the past year, and whilst we love each other a lot and definitely still want to be together.... hmmm, I don't have the words. Change is hard.)

work+school schedule is wearing me thin and my mother showed up unannounced (from 8 hours away) two days ago and has taken up residence in my bed (she has a cold) and I just am having a hard time doing everything that needs doing and I just want to come home and not have to immediately start taking care of someone.

so yes, tired.
